She is 64 but she also has osteoporosis and arthritis in her lower back. The back doctor just prescribed Celebrex, is this the safest drug for her? Also what should people with Hep C do to better care for their liver eventhough so far she seems to have a healthy liver. For the osteoporosis she is on Fosamax. She has been on it for several years. I am just afraid that too many potent drugs can be harmful for her liver.
I have seen a top gastroantonologist (spelling) who killed the myth about Tylenol and liver function. His words were " Tylenol is the better OTC for people with liver problems. Just DO NOT take more that 2000 mg a day." For normal people the max per day is 4000 mg. Just thought I'd put that out there.
d probably pursue the liver function angle if I were you. Any NSAID can disrupt liver function. Before my hypo diagnosis, I was on Celebrex (another NSAID) for chronic back pain, and was taken off of it after a liver function test. You could possibly also have a pituitary or hypothalamus issue, but given the ibuprofen and the ease of testing liver function, I'd probably explore that first.
Does anyone take celebrex?I started Prozak last week and they want me to take celebrex too. They say my liver can take it, (stage 2 fibrosis). But I am afraid of the NSAIDs in celebrex, any one else taking it? Oh, I am on Methadone too. I am having my first liver biopsy in the morning, so I will find out more about my liver. I am scared to death about it coz I have had so many problems lately.
Celebrex is a NSAID... for some it may be ok and others not..largely depends on the condition of your liver and other health factors that the prescribing doctor should be aware of ... here is a past discussion on pain meds.

Tramadol is an synthetic opiate and should not be taken for "mild" pain.

Hello everyone. So a little backstory first.
I was diagnosed with Graves disease back in 2013-2014. I was put on the methimazole + beta blocker treatment. I went into remission around 2016, when all my labs were normal. So I stopped the meds.
